— As jumping is an effective method of moving over rough terrain, there is much interest in building robots that can jump, and deformation of a soft robot’s body is an effectiv...
Abstract— This paper focuses on the dribbling control problem of an omnidirectional mobile robot. Because the movement of the dribbled object must be considered, dribbling contro...
—Calibration techniques allow the estimation of the intrinsic parameters of a camera. This paper describes an adaptive visual servoing scheme which employs the visual data measur...
— Most robotic vision algorithms are proposed by envisaging robots operating in structured environments where the world is assumed to be rigid. These algorithms fail to provide o...
— In this paper, we propose an original approach to control camera position and/or lighting conditions in an environment using image gradient information. Our goal is to ensure a...
Abstract— A new control type for stick-slip microsystems is proposed in this paper: the voltage/frequency (U/f) proportional control. It gives a best resolution relatively to the...
—In this paper we present the design of a swallowable (11mm diameter by 25mm long), 12-legged endoscopic capsule for locomotion in the lower gastro intestinal tract (large bowel)...

— Skid-steered mobile robots have been widely used for terrain exploration and navigation. In this paper, we present an adaptive trajectory control design for a skid-steered whee...
— In this paper we present an observability analysis for a mobile robot performing SLAM with a single monocular camera. The aim is to get a better understanding of the well known...
